While still a very young man, John Wanamaker, a resident m of Philadelphia, opened in that city a men's and boys' clothing store quite a small store. The proceeds of the first dav'3 sales were used to nav for an nrlvpvtisn. ment in a local newspaper, and this practice of spending a portion of each day's "takings" on newspaper advertisingwas never departed from. From the beginning the Wanamaker business grew. It was not long before Wanamaker had to find new and larger premises and he found them in a rather dead section of the city. They had been a railway's freight sheds, away off from the best shopping district of Philadelphia and-thev occunied a whole blnrk. Th made into an attractive store and newspaper advertising was used to pull buyers to the new store. Wanamaker was laughed at for his folly by other retailers but the "business grew and before long the laughers began establishing businesses in the vicinity of the magnetic Wanamaker store. So a new shopping centre came into being. Wanamaker may have been an extraordinary man, but was he? He just did obvious things in accordance with a purpose. He employed newspaper advertising morej than most retailers of Jiis day and city, He distributed information about his business among buyers,'- using the cheapest way of reaching them iri large' numbers'; namely, the advertising columns of newspapers. The Wanamaker way of making a retail business grow large and strong is a way which can be used today by every retailer in Prince Rupert. Shoppers want retailers' news, and they want it supplied to them in their newspaper, alongside news of what is going 6n locally and in a wider world. It's interesting to know when reading the Daily News that the people of the whole district are doing the same. 1 the construction ot the Alaska Highway. ;' .'

Principal leaders have' declared themselves as of the opinion that a "yes" vote-is vital to the full prosecution of Canada's war effort. I Further in sunnort of his advocacy of an affirmative answer in the plebiscite, Mr. Coldwell had the following j 10 say: "There is one other point I should like to emphasize. We all criticize the government for those inadequacies in our war contribution which we do not believe to be justifiable. This is right and proper. I, too, criticize the government and do so very emphatically because it al-( ready has all the necessary powers to organize an all-out, war effort. But in my judgment those powers have so far been used mainly for the conscription of labor and of manpower for home defence. This is wrong and it is, right and proper that we should criticize the government constructively for its failure. ( "However, in my view, we the people of Canada anr also to blame in part For we haven't yet realized the power of public opinion when effectively expressed. It was the pressure of public opinion in Britain which re-' moved Chamberlain from office in May, 1940. It is the same public opinion which has progressively rid the Bri-; tish government of deadwood and of most of the ap-' peasers. It was public demand in Britain which brought such men as Winston Churchill, Ernest Bevin, and Sir Stafford Cripps to positions of leadership. Public opinion : in Britain accomplished these things because the people there take their personal responsibility " as citizens seriously. t "I believe we must achieve the same level of political thinking and action in this country. All of us must make our voices heard and our needs and aspirations articu-. late. Public opinion must begin to play an important part! in Canada not only at elections and plebiscites but all the! time. This is a responsibility which neither government; nor Parliament can fulfil alone. It can only be met if all i the people, every man and woman in Canada, take an active part in the organization of our life now and after the war has been won." j "Because of this I urge you to make every effort to get1 to the polls on Monday next and place your cross opposite ! tne word ves ' air evei even to raids might be Send Your Loral '''should M office by i following 1 tiitfimPJWHifr--, aWy the night before. tcrbox in the dooi there to receive copy. new not in by 10 ajn. runs the risk of net being pub- be retroactive to January 1 and The Edmonton Ftmtfeair Aswcta- j Ushed.
